After I started syncing my Apple Music to my iPhone via the Finder app, I repeatedly received an error.
The error was ‘Some items, including “Song’s Title”, were not copied to the iPhone “John Appleseed’s iPhone 11 Pro” because they could not be found.’

Since the iPhone X, Apple has released various sizes of iPhones with a notch.
So, Identifying new iPhones that have a notch or don’t is a new problem for every Apple App Store App Developer. Apple just released in 2020 with iPhone 12, Pro, Pro Max and Mini, which are not similar in screen dimensions to previous generations of iPhone 11.
After reading and surfing the web, I found two helpful articles that will guide you to solve this problem: one post on Stack Overflow and another article by @cafielo.
However, the code shared in both articles above was incompatible with new Apple iOS versions 13 and 14.
So I rewrote those code that may be compatible with Apple iOS 13 and 14 operating system.

After releasing the new macOS Catalina or any other Mac operating system, I sometimes prefer a clean install of the latest operating system on my iMac / MacBook / MacBook Pro or Mac Pro.
I back up all of the current user home folders on external storage, such as an external hard disk or solid-state drive.
Once the operating system is installed on ‘Macintosh HD’ and an admin user account is created on Mac, it’s time to start transferring data from the external drive to Mac’s user home folder.
Once you have an account setup, follow these steps to transfer music.
Step 01: Copy your old ‘iTunes’ folder to your user’s Music folder located at e.g. User > Music > iTunes
Step 02: Hold down the ‘Option’ key while opening the Apple Music app from the dock or application folder. You will be presented with a dialogue box called ‘Choose Music Library. ‘ Now click on the ‘Choose Library’ button.

I know it happened to me when I purchased a new TP-Links router. But after setting up the router with my ISP (Internet Service Provider), my Mac / iMac / MacBook / MacBook Pro / MacBook Air / Mac Mini started dropping connection intermittently every 5 minutes or every 2 minutes.
After trying everything, here is a list of settings I used to get a stable connection from my router to my Mac.
Step 01: Sign in to your Router’s Admin Page
Step 02: Navigate to Wireless or Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings
Step 03: Uncheck ‘Smart Connect’. i.e. Disable the Smart Connect Feature.

Cloudflare is a good web service that provides CDN, Caching, HTML – JavaScript – CSS Minifying and security from DDOS attacks free of cost.
However, you must add your domain to Cloudflare to use this service.
Interaction is simple. At the top of your dashboard’s navigation bar, there is a prominent button called ‘Add Site’. Clicking it transfers you to the next page, where you can copy-paste your website’s URL.
If you are getting an error like ‘Invalid Domain’ while adding your website to Cloudflare, use this trick to bypass this error.
If you are copy-pasting the URL with the http suffix, then you will get an error:
// You will get error
http://yourdomain.comThen you have to enter your domain without http or www, and It should look like this:
// Success
yourdomain.comThe ‘Invalid Domain’ error should be resolved by now.
I hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards

Background:
I have written a complete, in-depth review and analysis of the Suyog Ranade Vivaha or Shree Suyog Vivaha Mandal Matrimony website that I used for 6 to 7 months, mainly on WhatsApp groups, because of bad user experience on website format. I reported the following issues to them, but they were not ready or in the right frame of mind to accept it.
So, I just unregistered myself from their portal and exited their WhatsApp groups.
Following are the points that I noticed about their matrimony service:
Point 01:
No or Failed Business Model. The matrimony section mainly runs on WhatsApp Groups of 250 people. The group is unmanaged sometimes; people post their profiles multiple times. Some people even post political or comic forwards. Because all members are in an open WhatsApp group, there is no contact number security or number privacy. Sometimes, admins or business owners post repeated WhatsApp Messages asking every user to register and pay a fee to use WhatsApp groups or websites. Admins even warn users they will remove everyone who never pays the matrimony section fee, which showcases the main point that there is no thought behind Successful Business Model or Revenue Generation.
Point 02:
No Privacy or Security: Because of the open group with visibility of contact numbers to everyone, users are prone to scammers and fake profiles or spam calls
Point 03:
Suyog Ranade Vivaha lost complete user profile data and even registered account data three times while upgrading their website and transferring the website to their new domain. They had to ask every user individually to reregister for their website repeatedly—a failed system.
Point 04:
Website owners had to change their Web Domain as a similar web domain was used by its competitor with a slight name difference. This shows no thought about branding or company structure. Because of this exact domain by competitors, Suyog Ranade Vivavha’s Matrimony users were registering wrongly on competitors’ websites, thinking competitors that they were the original company. This shows a loss of identity and company branding, and a loss of revenue.
Point 05:
As you can see in the screenshots, the website structure is broken and faulty, with buggy coding and development.
